Do kids know how to fail?

For a boy, one of the ways he becomes a man, is to try things and fail. From what I have been reading
many boys don't want to try different things, because they are afraid to fail.

I have seen this with many people, adults included. My sister is one of them. She has never, ever, tried a sport
of any kind throughout her life. And I know why, it is because she is afraid she will fail, and someone will
laugh at her.

But to become a man, boys MUST fail at things, if you don't, you will never become a man, because it means
that you never try new things, and you never take risks.

Could you imagine through time, people never trying new things? never taking risks?

What you are describing when people never try new things or never take risks, are conservatives. Conservatives always want to isolate, withdraw and conserve everything, which is why the US has never grown in any substantial way while under the leadership of a conservative government.

In that case, you are actually a liberal, not a conservative. Actually, I'd call you a closet conservative.

@swirlie You should study the difference darlin, you got it back ass wards. I am the opposite of Left, Woke, Progressive.

I may be closer to a JFK Democrat, which today is considered far right. 🤣
@DogMan
If you are the opposite of Left (which is liberal), Woke (which is far-left) and Progressive (which is center-left), then you indeed are a CONSERVATIVE.

Perhaps you've never known who you really were all your life?

@swirlie Whats the craziest thing you've ever done swirlie?
@DogMan
I rode a motorized minibike off a 50 foot cliff when I was 10 years old and landed inverted in 3 feet of water along the sandy shoreline directly below the cliff.

Why do you ask?

@swirlie That's awesome, did you do it on purpose?
@DogMan
Yes, of course I did it on purpose! Why would I ride a motorized minibike off a 50 foot cliff by accident?
